Ari Folman's Animated Film 'Where Is Anne Frank' Premieres at Cannes

Ari Folman's animated feature 'Where Is Anne Frank' premiered out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival. The film follows Kitty, Anne Frank's imaginary friend from her diary, in a story that bridges past and present. Folman, whose grandparents were deported the same week as Anne Frank and her family, uses fantasy to address the Holocaust for younger audiences. He aims to connect Anne Frank's legacy with current events, noting that many organizations support children affected by the migration crisis, with one in five children in danger. Folman previously directed 'Waltz with Bashir' (2008) about the Sabra and Shatila massacre and 'The Congress' (2013) based on Stanisław Lem's novel.
